I've thought Bisping was a bad matchup for Andy for years

Sure, Bisping lost to the men Silva beat, but stylistically Bisping has trouble for Silva.

Bisping is one of the better strikers Anderson has faced. Perhaps only behind agelessmaletor belfort. Bisping is definitely a better striker than Bonnar, Chael, and Mai.

I wouldn't bet on Bisping to beat but prime silva, but this isn't prime silva anymore. Old Silva looked beatable against Diaz who is the best striker Silva ever faced, arguably. Weidman, underrated but not magnificent on his feet, also did what he did to him while Sonnen dropped him.

Bisping has a good, technical kickboxing style. He uses all 8 points of his attack more so than all of Silvas other opponents. He also has a decent wrestling game. Mike may not be great at one thing, but he is good at everything.

I think it is silly to have seen Bisping's fights and think he poses a stylistic problem for anyone highly ranked unless that fighter has serious cardio issues, which Silva doesn't. Bisping is nothing special aside from his cardio. In fact, the fact that he has success in MMA is an indictment on the sport. Bisping is a lesser Forrest Griffin, nothing special athletically.
